Drain Away is run by George De Carteret, serving St Sampsons and the whole of Guernsey. Our goal is simple: provide quick, reliable drainage solutions without the jargon.
Our Story George founded Drain Away to address a common issue in Guernsey. With 30 years of experience, people think that drainage companies only clear blockages. In reality, a comprehensive range of services is necessary to keep systems functioning properly. Drain Away offers a comprehensive range of services, from CCTV surveys to cesspit sealing, helping both households and businesses avoid costly repairs and disruption.
Common Questions We know drainage problems can be stressful. Here are some of the questions we get asked most often.
Slow draining sinks, gurgling noises, or bad smells are often the first warnings. If you spot these, it’s better to call us early before it turns into a complete blockage.
Unblocking clears the immediate problem, but if blockages keep happening a CCTV survey shows what’s really going on. This helps prevent repeat call-outs and saves money in the long run.
Not at all. With services like drain lining and patching, most repairs are done without digging up your garden or driveway. We keep disruption to a minimum.
Yes, and we can either re-round the pipes to their original shape or cut out the blisters and line them, rather than replacing the whole system. This is often much more cost-effective.
We don’t just respond to emergencies. Regular checks and cleaning can keep your drains in good condition and stop bigger problems from developing.
If the issue is within your property, it’s usually your responsibility. If it’s on a shared or public line, we can help you identify this and guide you on the next steps.
